to be a part of, and we believe openness and transparency are key in achieving this.”

Andrew Stephens, Executive Director of the Sustainable Shipping Initiative which hosts the SRTI, commented: “By publicly disclosing its approach, Altera is not only making clear its commitment to responsible ship recycling; it’s also raising the bar and contributing to a more transparent and accountable maritime industry.”

March has been a busy month for the SRTI, seeing the launch of the 2020 Report as well as the addition of Gard, the first insurer to join the SRTI.
